Managing MX Record in DirectAdmin

There are several sorts of records in the Domain Name System (DNS), each with its own purpose. MX records, also known as Mail Exchanger DNS records, are critical for accepting incoming emails on an email server or hosting server. To ensure that emails are received, MX records must be properly setup.

DirectAdmin offers a simple interface for setting external email providers including Google Suite, Microsoft 365, and Zoho Mail. Let’s look into the steps:
